The reason is eviscerate, and hopefully someone has a good screenshot of it.

HA!
Just kidding!
Im not sure, but im guessing the Eviserate animation might have something to do with it.

Seriously? That doesn't seem fair. I mean I can understand because of the flips, but there are other powers that have jumping animations that are compatible with stone armor.

Well, at least now you know the reason.
You might not agree with it and might think it looks awesome.
Just remember, there are players on test that still have access claws/stone brutes because they made them before the limit was placed.
Lucky.

It's prefered method of attack is simply using flips to land it's bodymass on mobs. Why use weapons when you can fall on them?

I thought it was a clipping issue. Hmm.

Claws uses a subset of dual-wield and there were various clipping issues with the set. I'm unable to track any existing posts by red names directly on the subject of claws and brutes. Searches for Claws against Positron, Synpase, Castle, and BackAlleyBrawler return almost no results other than the mode explanations from BAB's on the claws set.
If my memory is correct, creating alternate animations that do not have the clipping, or flipping, issues is somewhere on the list of stuff for the animators to work on for, or after, Going Rogue.
My Claws/Stone Brute on test, "Odd Combo" would like to mock you all.

if that was a type of brute, i would TOTALLY play it.
I would start an all female vg for it named "las luchadoras" and run around body slamming everything in sight.

IMHO Granite still looks the best while in whirlwind
